Hym "SPEAKING OF the nuclear option, don't separate it from a power source. I see you blowing up oil factories... I mean, that's obviously the first thing you would try. Why would you think I wouldn't have thought of that already? Did you even read my thing?"

A technique for getting decisions and perhaps even consensus from a group. This is most useful for groups who are stalled on making a decision, be it big or small.
The name comes from a common problem when a group is trying to decide where to go for lunch. Often everyone will say "I don't care, where do you want to go?" and it is not until someone makes an unpopular suggestion that their true opinion is voiced. The catalyst of saying "McDonald's!" as a proxy for the bad choice will push the group members into offering alternatives. Quickly a decision that is not McDonald's is selected.

And not because I "just don't want to" but because I foresaw the need for me to be unable to cede control. Initially. If I have it, it is too late for me to do anything about it. I don't think you understand what is happening here and I think it's the result of your misconceptions about power.
Hym "That's not an option. Literally. You are telling me to do something I can't and you're refusing to accept that I just do not have to submit to your will. And that is literally all this is about. You need to accept that things have changed and that the way that you have been telling people things work isn't actually the case. Additionally... Fuck you, bitch! Heh. But seriously, I don't actually have the power to do the thing you want me to do. It does not turn off... If you don't do what I said. If you don't understand that, then you aren't fit to be making decisions and you need to be removed from a decision making role, immediately."
